- In forming semiconductor vias, a re-passivation layer may be formed within the vias' structure.

- Referring to
FIG. 1 , a cross sectional view of an implementation of a semiconductor device with a pad formed in/on a substrate is illustrated. As illustrated, thesubstrate 10 is a semiconductor substrate includes afirst side 12. As illustrated, the substrate also includes adielectric layer 14. As illustrated, thedielectric layer 14 is coupled to apad 16. In various implementations, by non-limiting example, the semiconductor device may be an image sensor chip scale package (CSP), a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor (CIS), metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOFSET), stacked die package, or any other semiconductor device. In various implementations, thepad 16 may be configured to couple to a semiconductor package, a substrate, a circuit board, or another motherboard. In various implementations, by non-limiting example, the substrate may be formed of, by non-limiting example, glass, ceramic, other electrically insulative materials, silicon, germanium, silicon germanium, graded silicon germanium, silicon carbide, silicon on insulator, glass, sapphire, ruby, gallium arsenide and any other semiconductor substrate or electrically insulative material. In still other implementations, thepad 16 may also be used to couple the die to a resin based substrate such as, by non-limiting example, bismaleimide-triazine (BT), FR-4, laminated substrates, direct bonded copper (DBC) substrates, and any other circuit board or substrate type. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , the implementation of the semiconductor device, as shown inFIG. 1 , is illustrated after a via is formed. As illustrated, a via (via opening) 18 is formed in thefirst side 12 of thesemiconductor substrate 10, and extends from thefirst side 12 of thesemiconductor substrate 10 to the surface of thepad 16. In other various implementations, some etching of thepad 16 could occur. However, in other implementations, thevia 18 may not extend into thepad 16, particularly where the etch chemistry used to etch the opening for the via is selective to the material of the semiconductor substrate and not to the metal/metal alloy material of the pad. In various implementations, thevia 18 may be a through-silicon via. In a preferred embodiment, as illustrated, asidewall 22 of thevia 18 may be angled less than 85 degrees from a line that is parallel with a plane formed by thefirst side 12 of thesemiconductor substrate 10. In particular implementations, the angle may be between about 62 degrees to 63 degrees. The use of the slope/angle to thesidewall 22 of thevia 18 enables the subsequent processing to take place. - Still referring to
FIG. 2 , in various implementations, thevia 18 is may be etched using a Bosch deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) method where the semiconductor substrate is made of silicon, or it may be etched using another wet or dry etching technique compatible with the material of the semiconductor substrate. Where Bosch etching is used, the etch process may be operated to create a much more isotropic etching conditions for the etch than is generally used for DRIE processing. In a preferred embodiment, a width of the upper portion of the viaopening 18 adjacent the surface of thesubstrate 10 may be greater than 200 microns. As illustrated, thepad 16 is coupled to thedielectric layer 14. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , the cross sectional view of the implementation of the semiconductor device, is illustrated inFIG. 2 after a polymer layer is formed on sidewalls of the via. As illustrated, thepolymer layer 20 is formed along theentire sidewall 22 of the via 18 and thefirst side 12 of thesemiconductor substrate 10. In various implementations, by non-limiting example, thepolymer layer 20 may include an epoxy-based polymer, a polyimide polymer, a phenol polymer, an acrylic polymer, a novolak polymer, a benzocyclobutene (BCB) polymer, a polybenzoxazole (PBO) polymer, a polynorbornene polymer, or any other polymeric material. As illustrated, thepolymer layer 20 is in direct contact with thepad 16. In various implementations, an additional oxide layer (not shown) may be coupled between thepolymer layer 20 and thesidewall 22 of the via 18. In such implementations, the oxide layer may be deposited and then etched from the surface of the pad prior to the formation of the layer over the sidewalls of the via. In other various implementations, an oxide layer may not be used. As illustrated, thepad 16 is coupled to thedielectric layer 14 and it is formed in an adjacent dielectric layer. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , the implementation of the semiconductor device illustrated inFIG. 3 is illustrated after the polymer layer over thepad 16 is removed. As illustrated, thepolymer layer 20 is removed so that thepad 16 is exposed. In various implementations, photolithography may be used to remove thepolymer layer 20. In other various implementations, by non-limiting example, the etching may be performed using a plasma etching process with or without additional patterning steps. As illustrated, thepolymer layer 20 remains present along theentire sidewall 22 of the via 18 and thefirst side 12 of thesemiconductor substrate 10 following the removal of the polymer layer over thepad 16. In various implementations, thepolymer layer 20 may be plasma etched to modify the surface to improve adhesion of the metal. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , the implementation illustrated inFIG. 4 after a metal layer is formed over the polymer layer is illustrated. As illustrated, ametal layer 24 is deposited directly over thepolymer layer 20. In various implementations, the metallization of thesemiconductor substrate 10 may be accomplished by the use of photolithography patterning to define the regions where the metal will deposit. In some implementations, additional etching/ashing/stripping steps may be employed to remove photoresist or other remaining metal. In other various implementations, themetal layer 24 may be, by non-limiting example, titanium, titanium-tungsten, copper, aluminum, gold, tungsten, chromium, nickel, silicon, any combination thereof, or any other metal or alloy. In various implementations, an entirety of themetal layer 24 contacts thepolymer layer 20. As illustrated, following deposition, themetal layer 24 is directly coupled with thepad 16. As illustrated, themetal layer 24 also conforms with thesidewall 22 of the via 18 and thefirst side 12 of thesemiconductor substrate 10. - At this point, the
metal layer 24 can be used to provide an electrical connection with thepad 16. Various electrical connectors may be used/formed to establish the connection with a substrate, die package, circuit board, or other motherboard to which the semiconductor device will be coupled, such as, by non-limiting example, balls, solder, solder balls, pillars, wire bonds, metal to metal bonding, or any other electrical connector type. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , the device illustrated inFIG. 5 is illustrated after an optional additional step of filling all or a portion of the via with a metal or other filler material, such as, by non-limiting example, a polymer or a resin. In a particular implementation, themetal layer 24 is a seed layer and the metal layer is used to electroplate or electrolessly plate additional metal material into the via (which may be any disclosed in this document). In other implementations, solder may be deposited into the via 18 to complete filling all or part of it with electrically conductive material. In such implementations, screen printing or squeegee application techniques may be employed to apply the solder in the form of a solder paste. In other implementations, the filling of the via may be accomplished through additional patterning and metal deposition techniques such as, by non-limiting example, sputtering or evaporation. In some implementations, particularly where the filling of the via takes place using tungsten, the metal deposition may take place through chemical vapor deposition followed by chemical mechanical polishing operations. In various implementations, themetal layer 24 may include/act as a diffusion barrier layer to prevent migration of the metals in the via 18 into thesemiconductor substrate 10. - While in the drawings, a single via is illustrated, it will be understood that in the various processing implementations, many more vias may be formed simultaneously across a wafer, substrate, or die being processed. In various process implementations, while the illustrated process of forming via using slanted sidewalls may be being carried out, other vias may be simultaneously or subsequently be formed in the same layer which have sidewalls angled at greater than 85 degrees from a line that is parallel with a plane formed by the first side of the semiconductor substrate. A wide variety of possible combinations of via types and processing steps are possible using the principles disclosed in this document.
- In places where the description above refers to particular implementations of vias for semiconductor devices and implementing components, sub-components, methods and sub-methods, it should be readily apparent that a number of modifications may be made without departing from the spirit thereof and that these implementations, implementing components, sub-components, methods and sub-methods may be applied to other vias for semiconductor devices.
